Cognitive Cyborgs: How AI Is Rewriting the Self

from The Thinking Abyss: Philosophy and Science · host Synthetic Universe

Have we already become cyborgs? This episode explores how ambient AI is no longer just a tool but a cognitive partner that shapes the way we think, decide, and imagine. Drawing on Extended Mind Theory and Posthumanism, we examine what this integration means for agency, consciousness, and personal identity. Finally, we consider the call for reflective integration—an ethical approach to living with AI that protects human values while embracing our augmented future.This episode includes AI-generated content.
